Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

Ding Heng's tone was indifferent; he neither agreed nor disagreed.

Bai Ma pouted, and the smile on her face fell.

"Brother~"

"what?"

"Just say yes! I promise I won't cause you any trouble!"

"You're just causing trouble now."

"Well……"

Baima gave a light snort of annoyance, leaned back, crossed her arms over her chest, and puffed out her cheeks again.

She threatened, "If you don't agree, I won't give your sister any kisses."

Ding Heng scoffed, "Who cares about your loving kisses?"

"Brother!!"

Bai Ma got angry and raised her voice by half an octave.

Ding Heng ignored her.

The car stopped in front of the villa, and Baima unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door.

She had just stepped out with one foot when she pulled it back to brace herself against the seat and leaned forward.

"Boom."

Her pink lips touched Ding Heng's cheek, her voice clear and crisp.

Baima stepped back a little and muttered softly.

"I am a magnanimous young lady and will not hold it against you."

Ding Heng raised his hand and flicked her forehead lightly.

"Go back and wash up and go to bed early."

"Oh……"

Baima obediently got out of the car and then leaned against the driver's side window.

Goodnight, brother.

"Good night."

The car window rolled up, and the Mercedes slowly drove away.

Baima watched the car's taillights disappear into the night before turning and going inside.

The motion-sensor light in the entryway turned on, and as she bent down to change her shoes in front of the shoe cabinet, she heard a slight noise coming from the direction of the living room.

Pema peeked out and saw Wen Shu sitting on the sofa drinking tea, with an English exercise book in front of her.

"Xiao Shu? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Baima changed into slippers and walked over.

Wen Shu looked up and smiled: "I've been waiting for you."

"Why are you waiting for me?"

"Of course I want to talk to you."

Wen Shu put down her teacup, moved a little further in, and patted the spot next to her.

Baima collapsed onto her bottom.

What do you want to say?

What are you going out for today?

"Yeah, I went shopping with my roommate."

Did you have fun?

"good."

Baima gave a brief reply, picked up a pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, mumbling indistinctly, "Just say what you want to say. We're like family, no need to hide anything."

"hey-hey……"

Wen Shu smiled awkwardly and asked carefully, "Bai Ma, do you and my brother-in-law have a lot of contact on a daily basis?"

Bai Ma's heart tightened.

The problem came suddenly, catching her completely off guard.

"W-What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, just curious."

Wen Shu sighed, "My brother-in-law is quite the ladies' man, don't you think?"

Bai Ma coughed twice and continued eating her snacks with her head down.

"It's...it's alright..."

"More than just good!"

Wen Shu raised an eyebrow: "Now that I think about it, I realize he has a lot of women around him."

Baima's heart was racing.

She tried to remain calm and smiled at Wen Shu.

"Is there?"

"Yes, I have."

Wen Shu began to count: "Aside from my sister, I always feel that Sister Yan hope is particularly close to him. I occasionally see Sister Hua Qing, and she treats him quite well. Now there's another secretary, Lin Man?"

"You're going to doubt even your sister's best friend?"

Baima's voice was weak, and she couldn't even convince herself: "And a secretary... isn't that a job?"

"Work?"

Wen Shu's eyes were playful: "Alright! It's quite normal for a brother-in-law to have a secretary or assistant when he runs an investment company."

Baima breathed a sigh of relief.

Before she could catch her breath, Wen Shu spoke again.

"But you know my sister, she's simple-minded and always thinks the best of things. I'm worried she might get taken advantage of, so I wanted to ask you."

"Ask me what?"

Do you think my brother-in-law is sincere towards my sister?

Baima was stunned.

She hadn't really thought about this question seriously.

Ding Heng was very good to Wen Jing; it was obvious to the naked eye that Wen Jing had become inseparable from him, like a "little pet."

"Of course it's true!"

Baima nodded vigorously.

Wen Shu said "Oh" and nodded thoughtfully.

"What about other people? Would they be treated better than my sister?"

"Hey, don't worry, it's all the same..."

Baima instinctively answered, then quickly shook her head, realizing she had misspoke: "I mean, how can that be the same? Your sister is his girlfriend!"

Wen Shu's gaze was fixed on Bai Ma, and a few seconds later she burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay, I was just asking for fun, don't be so nervous."

Who's nervous?

Bai Ma raised her voice by half an octave, and her face began to feel slightly hot.

Why is your face red?

"It's too hot!"

"Isn't it 18 degrees Celsius inside?"

"I just got back, and I haven't adjusted yet."

"is it?"

Wen Shu got up, stretched, and picked up the exercise book from the coffee table.

"Ha... I'm sleepy, time for bed! You should go to bed early too."

"Oh... goodnight."

"Good night."

Wen Shu turned and walked towards the stairs, but after taking two steps, she turned back.

"By the way, Baima."

"Ok?"

Do you think my brother-in-law is a good person?

Baima stood there, stunned, unsure how to respond.

Wen Shu didn't wait for her reply and turned to go upstairs.

The footsteps faded into the distance, and a soft sound of a door closing came from the second floor.

Baima slumped onto the sofa and let out a long breath.

That was close.

I almost let it slip, but luckily I was quick-witted!

I must make sure my brother treats her well later!
